Chapter 77: The Founding Son
Prime Minister Zhao Tingyin's eyesight has always been outstanding, and by the bright candle flame, he can see clearly that Li Zhongyi's chest is full of scars, especially the half-foot-long scar, which is simply shocking.
With Zhao Tingyin's combat experience, it only takes a glance to see that as long as the knife wound is a little deeper, it will kill Li Zhongyi.
Meng Chang stared straight at Li Zhongyi's chest, and only sighed for a long time: "Li Qing is really a great loyal minister. ā
"Wow, ......" To everyone's surprise, Meng Chang actually ran down from the throne, walked quickly in front of Li Zhongyi, raised his hand to caress the deepest scar on his chest, and asked him affectionately, "Which battle is this?" ā
"Back to Your Majesty, this is the Zhou army that attacked Yehuling at night, and when Weichen was slashing and killing the enemy general, he was accidentally attacked by the enemy army who pretended to be dead." Li Zhongyi didn't expect Meng Chang to be so gossipy, and came to see his knife wound in person.
These scars are all fake injuries deliberately made by Li Zhongyi and Wang Dahu, originally trying to deceive Li Tinggui's old man, but he didn't expect Meng Chang to run down and touch the scars himself.
Li Zhongyi was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent.
"O loyal minister! So what kind of battle is this scar? When Meng Chang touched a scar, he had to ask Li Zhongyi which battle he was injured.
The two gentlemen and ministers asked and answered, and the old fritters of the two mansions present still didn't understand, His Majesty wanted to reward Li Zhongyi!
Zhang Ye, the minister of power, rolled his eyes, and immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Your Majesty, Li Zhongyi has worked hard and made great achievements, and the old minister thought that he could give the founder of the country." ā
When Zhao Tingyin heard this, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, just now, Zhang Ye and Wang Zhaoyuan, who knew the Privy Council, and others had been persuading Meng Chang that the army was newly defeated, and it was not appropriate to reward Li Mou.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he should not only reward the marquis, but also give Li a soldier and horse, and order him to train carefully, so that he can serve the country vigorously in the future. Qianjin City horse bones, in order to inspire the soldiers in front, each with their hearts to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. ā
"Oh, don't ......"
"I have just lost a large area of rivers and mountains in Dashu, how can I reward Li alone?"
"How can the name of the country be sealed without permission?"
"Your Majesty, meritorious service is not rewarded, rewards and punishments are unknown, how can you govern the army?"
āā¦ā¦ā
In the entire Taiji Palace, the prime ministers and envoys of the two governments, you say a word to me, talk to each other, and do not give in to each other.
Meng Chang was very unhappy in his heart, he, the emperor, wanted to do something comfortable, why was it so difficult?
In the end, Meng Chang weighed and chose a compromise plan, crowned Meng Renyi as the king of Kui, and led the left and right Jin Wuwei to command the envoys.
At the same time, Meng Chang resisted Zhang Ye's pressure, and Leng was crowned Li Zhongyi as the "founder of Shuangliu County".
The title of the Shu State, inheriting the Tang system, is divided into nine grades, the king, the county king, the county prince, the county duke, the marquis, the uncle, the son, and the male, of which the last six titles must be added to the two words of the founding of the country.
Since the founding county is the title of the fifth grade, from now on, Li is already qualified to wear a light crimson (red) official robe, and is eligible to go to the palace to participate in the Chang Dynasty.
Of course, under normal circumstances, most of the people who participated in the discussions of the Chang Dynasty were actually appointed officials.
Regarding Meng Renyi's prince and official position, the prime minister and cardinal envoys did not dare to say anything, after all, it was the emperor's own brother.
However, when it came to promoting Li Zhongyi to become an official, the prime minister and the cardinal envoys had different opinions, and their opinions were clear, and they went to extremes.
These people in power were arguing, but Li Zhongyi, as the party concerned, was like no one, watching the excitement and watching the jokes.
Li Zhongyi thought to himself, they all quarreled with wool, and as soon as Song Jun arrived in Chengdu, even if he was a prince of Feng Laozi, he would become a pseudo-king and would not be recognized at all.
This time, Zhao Tingyin's people and horses, arguing with reason, did not give an inch, and insisted on recommending Li Zhongyi to take charge of the army alone.
"Your Majesty, if Li is ordered to take charge of an army, the old minister will resign as prime minister." Zhang Ye had always been worried that someone would divide the military power in his hands, and seeing that Meng Chang looked eager to try, he simply resorted to a killer move and ruthlessly defeated Meng Chang's army.
Meng Chang was angry, but he was worried that if he and Zhang Ye's gang tore their faces, the situation would be out of control.
At this time, Meng Renyi received Li Zhongyi's eyes, he pondered a little, based on his understanding of Li Zhongyi's personality, he simply went out of the class and said: "Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks that it is better to order Li to be the young eunuch in the palace, and the right to know all the miscellaneous matters in the palace."
Of course, Meng Renyi has to protect his family.
Seeing Zhang Ye's dominance so far, Meng Chang was very angry, and Meng Renyi simply raised the price of several steps, which not only helped the imperial brother export his evil anger, but also pulled Li Zhongyi to enjoy the high-ranking officials, so that he could continue to live happily.
"That's right." Meng Chang secretly killed Zhang Ye, so he followed the ladder that Meng Renyi had set up, slipped to the end, and immediately agreed.
Zhang Ye blinked, although he felt that Meng Renyi's construction was very excessive, but as long as Li did not hold military power, he did not necessarily have to let Meng Chang not come to power.
Just when Zhang Ye hesitated, Zhao Tingyin immediately bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the holy order." ā
"The ministers are edicted." Zhao Tingyin's family of men and horses bowed down one after another to receive the order.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Ye was not stupid, anyway, even if Li Zhongyi became a young eunuch in the palace, he was just an idle official who did a lot of money and had no military power, so why bother with Meng Chang for this?
"The old minister seconded the proposal." Zhang Ye finally lowered his head, which made Meng Chang's heart feel dark.
"The ministers seconded the proposal." Seeing Zhang Ye's statement, the prime ministers and cardinal envoys of his department also followed suit.
Wang Zhaoyuan, the "number one" of the Privy Council, saw that the direction of the wind had changed, and although he was very reluctant, he still nodded.
In this way, Li Zhongyi actually gained a lot of benefits in the power struggle between the ministers of the DPRK and China and the mutual tilting of each other.
Others may not know, but Li Zhongyi understands in his heart that although Meng Renyi mentioned yƬ as a young eunuch in the palace from the fourth grade, he left a crucial tail - the right to know all the miscellaneous affairs in the palace.
Quan means agency. Knowing all the miscellaneous affairs in the palace means managing the miscellaneous affairs in the palace.
In fact, this is a mission compiled by Meng Renyi, and its scope can be large or small, and anything can be intervened. Something really happened, and Li Zhongyi didn't have any responsibility, so he was very comfortable.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Zhongyi and Meng Renyi walked out of the palace side by side.
Li Zhongyi arched his hands and joked: "Prince Kui, the little one is polite." ā
Meng Renyi squinted at him, and said angrily: "Why, when you become a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, you look down on this king?" ā
"Hehe, you've got a good show." Li Zhongyi looked at Meng Renyi with unkind eyes.
Meng Renyi tilted his head and muttered, "It's boring, I can't hide anything from you." Damn, compared to you, Lao Tzu is like a stupid donkey. Let's go, let's go. ā
Looking at the direction in which Meng Renyi boarded the car and left, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, if you have a friend like this, what more can you ask for?
Li Zhongyi was about to board the carriage and go home, but he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, "Li ...... Young prisoner, young prisoner, please wait. ā
Li Zhongyi turned his head to look, but saw Huang Qing panting out of the palace gate, but the hat on his head was crooked.
Huang Qing hurriedly ran to Li Zhongyi, hunched his waist and said, "I can be regarded as seeing you again, I really want to die as an old slave." ā
Hey, old slave? Don't even call the virtuous brother anymore? Li Zhongyi felt that this Huang Qinghuo was like a chameleon, and he could change his own position and attitude anytime and anywhere according to the changes in the identity and status of the other party.
The palace province is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and its highest-ranking officials have a total of three people, including one palace supervisor from the third rank and two young eunuchs from the palace under the fourth rank.
According to the bad rules of Shu officialdom, newly promoted officials are generally sorted according to their qualifications, and Li Zhongyi should be regarded as the "third in command" in later generations.
No matter how many leaders there are, Li Zhongyi can be said to be Huang Qing's top boss at present, and his status is far from each other.
The county magistrate is not as good as the current management. Although it was mainly the emperor who decided Huang Qing's fate, Li Zhongyi, the young eunuch who should be in charge, said a few bad words about Huang Qing when he was in charge, and Huang couldn't stand it.
"Lao Huang, it's true that I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Zhongyi has always been a character who does not offend people lightly, and this Huang Qing is still a little useful, so he is quite polite to him.
"Oh, the young eunuch has been thinking about the old slave, this is really a blessing that the old slave can't imagine." Huang Qing flattered Li Zhongyi's flattery.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Lao Huang, don't be so angry, we will still be brothers in the future, right?" ā
Huang Qing deliberately glared at him and said, "Where did it come from?" You are a superior, and the old slave listens to your dispatch, but you can't mess with the dignity of the elders and the young, otherwise you won't be a decent. ā
"Lao Huang, you're so fucking wordy. Alas, whatever you want, as long as you don't call the young eunuch, the rest is up to you. "Li Zhongyi is indeed a little tired of the title of young eunuch, damn, why isn't he a eunuch?
Li Zhongyi has been in the army for a long time with Qiu Ba, and he will also pop out one or two foul words and ruffians, this should be the true embodiment of the black who is close to ink, right?
"Hey, hey, having such an approachable and nostalgic Shangguan as Gong Li is really a blessing for an old slave." Huang Qing gave a thumbs up and slapped his horse shamelessly.
Seeing Li Zhongyi frowning slightly, Huang Qing knew that the time for the horse shoot had passed, and he needed to talk about business.
Huang Qing deliberately approached Li Zhongyi's side and whispered: "According to the rules of the imperial court, all the lords above the newly promoted viscount will be given a mansion as usual. I don't know ...... Gong Li"
Li Zhongyi understood, Huang Qing was sending benefits, no wonder he ran so far that he couldn't even breathe.
The same is the same house, which is chosen in advance, and arbitrarily designated, which is very different.
As the saying goes, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Li Zhongyi naturally pays more attention to the official residence to be officially occupied.
Objectively speaking, Huang Qing's sycophant is still very well shot.
'Lao Huang, what do you have to build? Li Zhongyi knew that Huang Qing must have been prepared before coming to him, so he deliberately helped him get started.
"Gong Li, from Ming'er, you are going to participate in the Chang Dynasty when you are old. The old slave pondered, your home must not be too far from the palace, otherwise, how inconvenient is it to go up and down? Huang Qing pondered Li Zhongyi's face and said with a smile, "The old slave thinks that a house in Anningfang on South Third Street is very exquisitely built, the garden is particularly large, and it is only half an hour's road away from the palace gate. ā
Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard it, Huang Qing, an old man, must have wanted to be a black family's house, and he stepped on it early.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? Li Zhongyi has just been promoted to the knighthood, and Huang Qing has found a house, and the gods can't do it.
"Lao Huang, if you say good, then it must be good, just choose there." Li Zhongyi also believes that Huang Qing is a knowledgeable person and will not deliberately deceive him, the top boss.
"Alas, Gong Li, you are so considerate, the old slave really admires it." Huang Qing suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The Li family, a waste talent in the cold palace, died at the end of last month. ā
